The UC Davis team is already making such varieties, not by genetic engineering but through crossing domesticated wheat plants with wild relatives. The key is a technology called Marker Assisted Selection (MAS). This allows scientists to select which plants to cross using genetic information

Now why is this different than genetic engineering?

I can see now that Political Correctness and fear of science and technology is slowing Technological advances and impeding important advances that save lives.

Fankinfood! Oh brother!

What could be done by genetic engineering in hours will instead be done in months or years.
